Nos. 12296, 12298, and 12300 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER AND NOTICE OF APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE Adopted: June 22, 2012 Released: June 25, 2012 By the Chief, Media Bureau: I. INTRODUCTION 1. In this Memorandum Opinion and Order and Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (“NAL”), we find that Grande Communications Networks, LLC (“Grande”), multi-channel video programming distributor (“MVPD”) of Texas Employment Units 11775, Hays; 12295, Midland; 12296, Bexar County; 12297, Ector County; 12298, Dallas County; 12299, Travis County; 12300, McClellan County; and 12301, Nueces County (the “Units”), apparently, willfully and repeatedly violated the Commission’s equal employment opportunity (“EEO”) Rules, by failing to comply with the Commission’s EEO recruitment and self-assessment requirements. 1 Based upon our review of the facts and circumstances before us, we conclude that Grande is apparently liable for a monetary forfeiture in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). To prevent future violations of these requirements, we also impose reporting conditions on the Units and any successor owners of the Units. We also adjudge the Units not certified for compliance with our EEO Rules for the year 2011. II. BACKGROUND 1. Sections of the Rules at issue in this case include the following: Section 76.75(b)(1)(i) of the Rules requires than an MVPD employment unit use recruitment sources for each vacancy in a manner sufficient, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, to widely disseminate information concerning the vacancy; Section 76.75(f) of the Rules requires that an MVPD analyze its recruitment program on an ongoing basis to ensure that it is effective in achieving broad outreach, and address any problems found as a result of its analysis; Section 76.77(b) requires the Commission to determine, based on information 1 See 47 C.F.R. §§ 76.75(b)(1)(i) and 76.75(f).
